The Kids' Outdoor Adventure Book

I recently came across this book in my local library. It's packed with fun activities to get kids outside exploring and enjoying nature.

From Indie bound:

"Nature is a destination, but you don’t have to travel
anywhere to find it. Just open the door and step outside. A fun, hands on
approach to getting involved in nature, The Kids' Outdoor Adventure Book is a
year-round how-to activity guidebook for getting kids outdoors and exploring
nature, be it catching fireflies in the cool summer evenings; making
birdfeeders in the fall from peanut butter, pine cones, and seed; building a
snowman in 3 feet of fresh winter snow; or playing duck, duck, goose with
friends in a meadow on a warm spring day."

The book includes checklists, challenges, projects, outdoor recipes and games. Organized by season, you can easily flip open to a random page a find something fun to do. It's a great addition to the many other books about sharing nature with childlren that I already highlighted on my Pinterest Board.

About Me

I spent my childhood mucking about in the fields, forests, and swamps around the farm where I grew up. As an exchange student in high school, I temporarily traded rural living for city life in Cebu, Philippines. These early experiences set me on my current course exploring nature and culture like the locals. I spent 10 wonderful years as a grade 4 teacher. Now, when I'm not mucking around in the world, I'm usually in my office or local coffee shop weaving these experiences into stories for children. I'm represented by Jill Corcoran of Jill Corcoran Literary Agancy.
